Shen Ziyi saw that the cherry plate in front of King Duan was mostly empty, and said with a smile: "The prince likes it, next time I have it, I will send some more." After a few cold words, he said goodbye and left.

King Duan didn't doubt him, and Yuan Zhi over there thought that Lin Xiaozhu had returned to the kitchen, but he didn't care. However, the county lord of Wanhua, who had been sending people to stare at Shen Ziyi, heard that Shen Ziyi was leaving, so he hurriedly came to the door and blocked Shen Ziyi. Shen Ziyi was worried about Lin Xiaozhu and was anxious to leave, but he said a few perfunctory words in good words, so that he was able to get away.

Shen Fu had already sent his entourage at this time, and asked the coachman to drive the car out of the parking place, Shen Ziyi was worried all the way, for fear that Lin Xiaozhu would not be sent out, and he could stay in the car, put down the curtain, and immediately lifted the car seat, and saw Lin Xiaozhu lying on his back, thinly dressed in early autumn, lying on her back like this, her body was even more curvy, and she suddenly shifted her eyes in embarrassment.

"Wing Gongzi, tell the coachman to leave." Lin Xiaozhu was also very embarrassed. But when this kind of life-saving time, I don't care so much, I whispered.

Shen Ziyi nodded, covered the seat, and said outside, "Let's go." But he didn't dare to sit on the seat where Lin Xiaozhu was lying, but sat on the other side.

And not long after Shen Ziyi left, Duan Wang suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, foaming at the mouth, and his feet twitched. There was a sudden chaos at the banquet, Yuan Zhi hurriedly called the doctor, and another subordinate rushed over to report to the princess. When Princess Duan, Lord Wanhua and several children came over in a hurry, this poisoning caused various complications of Duanwang's syndrome, and he swallowed his breath before the doctor arrived, nor did he have to say another word to his wife and children.

King Duan was only in his forties at this time, he was in the prime of life, although he was sick and often had unbearable headaches, Yuan Zhi and Princess Duan did not expect him to die so suddenly. At this time, there was a sudden change. I only care about grief, where can I think of anything. It was the princes who went to the banquet who reminded them to hurry up and thoroughly investigate the poisoning incident. Yuan Zhi then remembered that his father was gone, and the old emperor was critically ill, so the emperor's hat must not fall on his head? The moment was immediately uplifted. On the one hand, he ordered people to blockade Duanwang's mansion, and arrested all the subordinates who worked in the kitchen that day, touched the food, and served at the banquet. torture to track down those who poisoned them; On the one hand, he gathered his father's cronies and established his authority.

It's better not to check, but after a check, I found that there were more than a dozen people missing from the house at some point, and there were stewards among them. There are small servants, girls, cooks, and even cronies around the two Duanwangs, and Lin Xiaozhu is gone. Yuan Zhi was furious and only felt a chill on his back, and found that after his father died, the most noble hat was not so easy to wear, so he quickly sent someone to search Yuan Tianye's mansion. Yuan Tianye was in the palace for two days and guarded the emperor and did not go home, but the housekeeper Zhang in the palace was generous enough to let the people of Duanwang's Mansion go to search, and he also stuffed silver to ask the searchers what happened. It looks like he doesn't know anything. And one of Duanwang's most relied on henchmen guessed that the murderer must still be in the mansion, or one of the guests attending the banquet. The missing people are just a trick he has put to trick the prince into tracking down; And then this time. The most important thing is not to track down the murderer, but to send Zhong Yugui's army to control the political situation.

Yuan Zhi heard that it was really reasonable, and while investigating in the mansion, he hurriedly ordered Zhong Yugui to come and obey the order. However, Zhong Yugui deduced that he was ill and could not obey orders, and ignored Yuan Zhi's request. Just as Yuan Zhi was furious and was about to go to Zhong Yugui's mansion to question in person, news came from the palace that the old emperor had passed away, and Yuan Tuo, the eldest son of King Lirui, was the new emperor. At the same time, the front of Duanwang's mansion was also guarded by heavy soldiers, claiming that it was sent by the new emperor to track down the murderer for Duanwang and protect Duanwang's son. Yuan Zhi wanted to contact the wings of King Duan, but found that the people sent out were like mud cows into the sea.

The next morning, Shen Ziyi sat in his outer study and asked the butler who came to report the political situation of Beiyan to him, "At this time, what is Doctor Yuan doing?" Did you go back to Yuan's house? ”

"The villain went to inquire, since the death of the old Yan Emperor, Princess Rui fainted due to grief, and Doctor Yuan was invited to the Rui Palace, and never came out again." Butler Road.

Shen Ziyi frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked, "You say, will this Yuan Tianye be King Rui's person?" Otherwise, how could he be so accurate, ask me to pick Lin Xiaozhu out, and let me leave early at the banquet that day? Now that I think about it, if I leave later, I may not be able to leave. King Duan was poisoned, and everyone present couldn't get out of it. And if Lin Xiaozhu stays there, whether she is poisoned or not, she will not be able to escape if she is beaten to confess. Whether he will be able to come out alive by that time is still unknown. ”

The housekeeper looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "Childe, this is Beiyan's internal affairs, whether he is or not, it has nothing to do with us." It's good that you and Miss Lin can come back safely. Anyway, no matter who is in power, they don't dare to search our Shen Yuan. ”

"Hmph, don't talk about searching, even if you suspect it, you don't dare. I'm the one who has no position to poison, who dares to doubt me? Shen Ziyi snorted, stood up, and walked directly to the inner courtyard.

After walking along the lake for a while, and then through a bamboo forest, he came to a quiet courtyard. Even though it was noon, the courtyard was surrounded by greenery, and birds could still be heard, making it even more quiet.

"The Five Princes." The mother-in-law guarding the door saw Shen Ziyi coming, and hurriedly bowed down.

"Go to Tongyu." Shen Ziyi said.

"Yes." The woman answered, turned around and entered the courtyard, and was secretly taken aback by Shen Ziyi's behavior.

It stands to reason that if the son wants to avoid suspicion, he only needs to enter the courtyard and stand outside the house to let people report, and he will fulfill the etiquette between men and women. But the son was outside the yard and let her pass. If that's the case, wouldn't Childe have to wait outside for a long time? Isn't this a lowering of one's status?

Yesterday, Childe brought back a woman, and he didn't explain his identity, he just let them serve them well, but she didn't care at the time. After all, Childe is also nineteen years old, and it is not strange to have a favorite woman. And in her opinion, a woman brought into the mansion like this must not have a high status. But Gongzi ordered the two first-class girls who were his most confidants to serve, and specially instructed them to take care of them wholeheartedly. When I arrived today, I let her go into the yard after she passed it! This is so unusual.

Who is this Miss Lin?

"Mama Zhuang, what's the matter?" I heard the sound of footsteps, and a girl came out of the room.

"Biyu, the fifth prince is here, you go and talk to Miss Lin." Zhuang Mama said.

Biyu glanced behind Mama Zhuang, didn't see Shen Ziyi, and glanced at Mama Zhuang suspiciously. But before she could ask, Lin Xiaozhu's voice came from behind her: "Please." ”

Shen Ziyi is the prince of a country, and in the eyes of Mama Zhuang, no matter how high the status of the girl in front of her is, she can't be higher than her own son. Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu only said "please", and then glanced out of the door, he was still holding the bouquet of flowers in his hand, inserting them in front of a vase, without the slightest intention of being flattered to greet his son, Mama Zhuang was extremely unhappy. But after all, she is an old lady who came out of the palace of Nanyue Kingdom, and the city government still has it. only glanced at Lin Xiaozhu deeply, and then retreated.

"Fifth prince, Miss Lin is invited." Mama Zhuang walked quickly to the door, and saw Shen Ziyi standing there admiring the dark bamboo in front of her, with a relaxed and leisurely expression, as if she didn't care how long she waited, and became more and more curious about the identity of this Lin girl.

Shen Ziyi heard Mama Zhuang's voice, crossed the threshold, walked towards the courtyard, walked through the courtyard, and went up the steps, he slowly stopped, looking at the woman who came out of the house, his eyes did not blink.

It turned out that when she met Lin Xiaozhu, she wore a plain muslin dress most of the time, even if she wrote a satin dress, she tried to choose the most inconspicuous and elegant color, and the dress was always too plain. At this time, she wore a long vermilion skirt embroidered with white plum blossoms, and a silver brocade belt tied her waist to make her waist more slender; The usually combed Yahuan bun has also been changed to a wishful bun at this time, although only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted, it can correspond to the dress far away, making the plain and beautiful Lin Xiaozhu more charming and moving.

Lin Xiaozhu couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Ziyi looking at him blankly, looked down at the dress on his body, and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't it a bit like wearing a dragon robe like the meaning of the prince? ”

"Nonsense." Shen Ziyi laughed, stepped up the steps in a few steps, and walked to Lin Xiaozhu's side.

Today's Shen Ziyi wore a moon-white round-necked gown. The neckline, cuffs, and placket are embroidered with golden silk threads into a moire, and the waist is tied with a royal blue jade-inlaid belt, making it look more and more long. and Lin Xiaozhu are red and white, reflecting each other, whether it is appearance or temperament, they are so compatible. Mama Zhuang stood at the bottom of the steps, watching the two of them walk into the house one after the other, and sighed in her heart, she was really a talented and beautiful couple.

Lin Xiaozhu and Shen Ziyi were also familiar with each other, and when they entered the room, they said with a smile: "Where did this dress come from?" It really fits. There is also jewelry, which is also very compatible. Thank you so much for your trouble. ”

These clothes and jewelry were all sent by Yuan Tianye. However, Shen Ziyi suddenly didn't want to explain to Lin Xiaozhu, so he only said vaguely: "It's good to fit, it's good to like it." ”

Seeing that Biyu didn't need to be ordered, she directly brought the tea up, Lin Xiaozhu glanced at her, and when she retreated behind her, she asked softly, "I don't know what's going on outside?" "Since last night, although I am safe, I haven't heard any news. Shen Ziyi has not appeared until now. She really can't wait to know what is going on outside.

"Jasper, Zipei, you stand down." Although these two are Shen Ziyi's henchmen, for the sake of An Lin Xiaozhu's heart, Shen Ziyi still drank them back, and then told them about the situation outside.

(The last day of the invigilation today, there was a dinner party in the evening, and I didn't get home until twenty o'clock, so it's even later today, and there is only one shift, sorry.) (To be continued)
